02RedGT Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'm planning on lifting my Legacy a few inches and wanted to know if anyone had any recommendations? I'm thinking the best way to go may be finding suspension from a Forester and swapping it out. Asked a few people with lifted Legacy's and they said that's what they did and recommend. Anything I should take to consideration with this plan, or change? Open to anything, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrayspecs Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 could go with outback struts and springs too would give you roughly 1 inch of lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 There are no Forester struts that both the front and rear bolt directly into 2000-2004 Legacy/Outback. You are best off getting 2000-2009 Outback springs and struts which should give you about a 2" lift. If you want more use tophat spacers. The biggest problem is that 3rd and 4th Gen Legacy/Outback used a rear shock with a lower mounting point that isn't as wide as 2009+ Forester units and the 1998-2008 Forester uses struts on all 4 corners, not front struts and rear shocks like yours.

Caboobaroo Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Also, would be a good idea to swap in the lift blocks from an Outback. I happen to have some that are about to come out of the car since I'm lowering mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02RedGT Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 @GTeaser so it would be smart to get springs, struts and tophats off an outback from a junkyard possibly and for even more put lift blocks from an Outback on like Caboobaroo was saying? Thank you all by the way! Much help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
